What's the 'newest' Camera that supports CHDK? Mine got stolen recently and I'd like something to replace it for times I don't want to lug around my SLR.
Does CDHK support the DIGIC IV (720p, better face recognition). I played around with one of my friends and face recognition, the fact that you can zoom in and scroll through all faces to make sure they're in focus. Lots of cool stuff, but CDHK seems to mostly support older stuff and Canon's numbering scheme sucks.
Don't forget Greed. See the mortgage collapse. A majority of those people were good at math and reasoning, but they were greedy. They thought they could cut a few corners and make it big.
I've been to many a town with out a 24/7 ATM. People think that everywhere in the US is like NYC. There are places in the US that resemble rural Romania. Keep in mind that England is 7k sq miles (~18k sq km) smaller than my State.
Although it is 'peace of mind' and doesn't mean much. I'd MUCH rather have a piece of paper with personal info on it that "Oh, I'll send that when I get home."
Burden of getting paid is on the person I give the check to. I don't have to take their account information and enter it later. I write them a check and if they decide not to deposit it, fine.
How do you use a computer in BFE? All of my bills are automatic bill pay, however I still use checks for a large portion of personal transactions, including eBay sometimes.
If I buy something from someone impromptu for greater than the amount of cash I carry, I can always use a check. Wirelessly, No internet required. Not everyone has a smart phone and can log in to PayPal or their bank anytime they want to send money.
Yes I can be scammed, but I always check that the address on the check matches the drivers license. Sure they could be on their way out of town, but usually leave enough of a paper trail if I get taken.
Personally I write stuff to the Beerware license. I really don't give a flying fuck what you do with code I write because I normally write it for me. If you find it handy, congrats. If you turn it into a multi billion dollar industry, congrats. I don't care.

What is jail time going to solve or fix? Jail was meant as a place to either rehabilitate or separate from the general populous.
Everyone was on Spain's case for not giving jail time to the spammers, but it's the way it should be done.
HE didn't shoot the child, he was reckless. Take his gun, take his gun license, take his other kid, but don't put him in jail. What is jail going to 'teach' him? Not to leave his gun out? All it does is put a financial burden on the rest of the state to feed and house him. Is 5 years in jail going to teach him not to leave the gun out? Is 5 years in jail going to educate him to a level to where he can find a job, when he already has one?
If our prison system wasn't run by Unions trying to keep themselves busy, we'd probably have a ton less people in jail/prison.
That's not how 'traditional diesels' work. ALL diesels are either indirect or direct injection and inject near TDC. There's no such thing as a diesel that injects during the intake stroke like gasoline engines do. It just doesn't work.
In "modern diesels" it's up to 26,000 PSI, most run 15,000 psi not 1800 psi. (small difference). My "traditional" 1998 TDI ran ~2500 psi.
The only difference between a direct and indirect injection is the inclusion of a prechamber or not.
Transonic's injection system varies from direct injection in two ways: it uses supercritical fluids and doesn't require a spark to ignite the fuel. The supercritical fluid mixes quickly with air when it's injected into the cylinder.
Not sure what is considered 'super critical' but diesel fuel under 180 MPa/26,000 psi is pretty super critical to me.
Once the fuel is injected into the piston, the heat and pressure are enough to cause the fuel to combust without a spark (similar to what happens in diesel engines), which also helps provide fast, uniform combustion. Ignition can be timed to happen just when the piston is reaching the optimal point, so it can convert as much of the energy in the gasoline into mechanical movement as possible, without wasting energy by heating up the combustion chamber walls, as happens in conventional technologies. The company has developed proprietary software that lets the system adjust the injection precisely depending on the load put on the engine.
Third. Really get the cheapest stuff you can find. I just built a HTPC and built it out of literally the cheapest components I could source. (That had Gigabit, etc).
Ended up with a 1.8 gHz Centrino (still more powerful than yesteryear's highend chips) and a GT220, all of which will do 1080p out with VDPAU.
And go with Newegg instead. Prices aren't THAT much different, plu they are probably one of the best tech companies I've ever had to deal with. Compared to Pricewatch when my roommate built his PC, all the parts came from different vendors (the cheapest), DOA returns were a nightmare, etc.
Step 1) Find what you 'want'. Mimimum Motherboard (Intel|AMD) requirements. PCI, PCI express, gigabit ethernet, etc. Do a Power Search. Look at a few reviews. Step 2) Take the socket type of found motherboard. Do a powersearch on CPU type with matching socket. Step 3) Repeat with GPU. Step 4) Repeat with Case (& PSU if not included) Step 5) Repeat with memory
And "A Little Difference" is huge, probably as large of a difference between them and the NT kernel. Not only that, OS X doesn't even use the FreeBSD kernel, they use the Darwin one.
I switched after High School. I learned about Dvorak in wandering the Internet (pre Wiki days) and thought it made sense. Even if the "X much faster" claims were biased, leaving the home row and less finger movement sounded good.
After my last project my senior year I figured this was the last time I would ever be able to 'switch' because from here on out it'd be College then Work nonstop.
Printed out a keymap and kept it next to the monitor. Kept up my IRC/AIM chatting. It took 2 weeks to get back to my 'old speed'. And within a month I was up +30 WPM where I eventually settled.
DV Assist is a great tool for Windows users who don't have admin access, I keep it on a thumb drive at all times, plug it in and run and switch. And it's not like you 'forget' QWERTY, it's always printed in front of you.
The worst is passwords.... I really don't "remember" my passwords. So a password: 1234',.paoeu is just the first 3 lines of the keyboard on the left... but when I go to a QWERTY keyboard I have to think it through...
However given that Toyota uses Simulink/RTW, I doubt that they've moved away from Real Time OS yet...
A pathway to innovation. Toyota released a revolutionary hybrid electric vehicle in November 1997. “Simulink had a remarkable effect,” on Toyota’s HEV program, says Mr. Ohata. “It even allowed software developed in Simulink and autocoded with Real-Time Workshop to be used on a real ECU well into the development cycle.”
There's even hardware to do it. dSpace sells some very nice (and very expensive) hardware to do testing. You can setup scripts to test almost any scenario. It'll fake out all the basic sensors and then you can test to see what happens when you hit the brake at 10 mph, 20 mph, 30 mph. You can do burn in tests. Software is very very repeatable. You can often trace right through the Simulink model and find out what is going on.
And given the short cycle time, you don't have time to rewrite everything. Every company that uses Simulink for models even has verified and validated library blocks. We have a "C to K" block (because one isn't built in). That automatically matches In & Out data types, etc. We have low pass filters that are designed to our companies standards....
And we have engine control models that have been ported from Assembly that have been used for 30 years that 'work'. We're not going to throw that all out the window every development cycle.
Google checkout works rather well. All you have to do is associate it with a bank account. You don't have to setup a 'store.' But can just send e-mail invoices instead.
Any time I sell something on line, I write up a short description, drop in the e-mail address and amount and they get an invoice they can pay with their credit card. Now I can't just 'send' someone money, but that's really not been a big problem for me.

Firefox constantly eats memory on my MacBook. If I have both Firefox and Photoshop open, Firefox consistently eats more memory than Photoshop. Things will grind to a halt until I kill Firefox.
It was enough to get me to jump ship to Chromium, where aside from the occasional Flash Plug-crash, doesn't require being reset every hour.

So it sounds exactly like a diesel engine or VW's TSI gasoline engine.

In the latest versions of CANape you can even view your Simulink Model EXACTLY how you built them and add all of your signal channels to it. If there is a bug or people are experiencing problems, it takes all of an hour at most to figure out what is going on and what is causing it.
